Reflections for Patrolman Anthony F. Campisi

Dear Jimmy,
Today playing on the radio was "Good Vibrations". Hearing that song brought back the memory of the pain our community felt for your family when your Dad was killed. My sister Debbie (may she rest in peace) and I hung out with you, as we lived on the "horseshoe". I remember Mayor Lindsay coming to your home and the sadness and fear we all shared as kids. I hope this finds you and your family well nearly 6 decades later.
Regards,
Jimmy Damm

I went to school with Patrolman Campisi’s son James. Our whole class attended the funeral. We were 8 years old. I remember trying to comprehend what happened. I remember all the cops at the funeral and how sad Jimmy and his family looked. That was the day I decided to be a cop. Rest easy Patrolman.

Anthony Campisi is the beloved brother of my Grandmother. Although I never got the pleasure of meeting him, his pictures are always out and his name is mentioned frequently. I love to hear stories about what an amazing man he was. My grandmother, mother and Aunt helped to keep his memory alive in our family. He is loved and missed more than he will ever know. It’s amazing to see recent reflections so many years later and means so much to our family. May he Rest In Peace.

Patrolman Campisi,
On today, the 51st anniversary of death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC during the Korean War. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

You are remembered today and thank you Sir for your service, this writer again states as I have for so many officers, that justice was not truly served on your behalf.

Dear Jimmy,
(from Frank Fink, originally of Glendale);
We were good friends when we were little, and we would still see each other around the neighborhood when we got older. You were always a good guy. I remember so well when we were around eight or nine years old you knocked on my door. When you came in you said to my mom and I that your Dad was in the paper and that he was a police officer and that he had been killed, I beleive the night before or not long before that. My mom said yes she knew. I can't remember whether I had known aleady. You stayed a little while with us that afternoon. I remember the feelings I felt on your behalf that day. I felt honored that you would think of sharing those moments with me, in quiet reflection at such young ages.
You've crossed my mind every once in a while over the years, and hope your well. I hope somehow that you might someday come across this message, and if not thats o.k., I just offer a prayer up for you, your dad, and your family.
Your mom was always very kind to me, I remember having fun in your basement playing with race car sets, eating snacks(particularly those little cheese treats in the wrappers), and laughing.
I hope your mom is still with us and if so please give her my regards, and to your sister as well.
Something on t.v. had prompted me to think of people I had known who had experienced such sorrow early in their lives. I forgot what year it was and how old we were, so I tried to look it up on the internet and came accross this dedication. You were a good and caring freind. God bless you and your family. Feel free to contact me if you get to read this.
